You said this after Diana left right? And after Maya too I think. Oh and definitely after Tina and Kaleena and I'm sure it's definitely the end now that Stewie is gone. WOW and to think I thought the end was way back after Rebecca left. This has got to be it, for sure, the end of titles. I mean why would UCONN win more titles? Its not like they have a good coach that can muster a team to a championship. That definitely can't happen.

C'mon, man...Let's get real =D

I never said this after anyone left. But have any of those teams ever lost 3 All Americans in the same year ? To still be talking about them being a Final Four team or winning another title after that is unreal. Most teams would be in the rebuilding stage but U Conn keeps rolling. pretty Impressive.
 
I've read this whole thread, and I believe we have more evidence here that UConn opponents smell blood in the water. The fact that the Lady Bears came out of hibernation as soon as Bre, Mo, and Morgan graduated indicates that other programs feel empowered--not by challenging the most successful WCBB team in history but by dropping out of sight until they think they can beat the Huskies. Hey, you can't lose to UConn if you don't play them. (ND, on the other hand, has never seemed afraid to play UConn or to be intimidated by them when they shared the court. Good for the Irish.) As to the issue of whether the Huskies are vulnerable this season: that remains to be seen. The only proven vet on the team is Kia Nurse; Lou demonstrated last year what her potential is, as did Napheesa and Gabby. If these players pan out (and Gabby for one improved tremendously as a sophomore), other teams should find the going very tough. Frankly, opponents better get UConn this year because next year it's a NC all over again. Oh, and the year after next year . . .

All you say might be true. But i wouldn't give them the next 2 titles after next year. I think Notre Dame matches up well with them next year. They have tons of guards and Turner and Boley will be just as good if not better then Stevens and Camara. I also think where Walker and Westbrook go could play a factor. If Walker goes to Texas or N.D. that changes things in my opinion. If Walker and Westbrook both go to N.D. then U Conn we have a problem .Not just the next 2 years but many years to come. I can see several players down the road wanting to play with those 2. A lot of ifs . Will see how things pan out real soon.

Your right deary ( In my best Grand Ma voice ) But Tennessee won it in 2006 and 2007 and 2008 so that proves my point even better. U Connn was not the team to beat 20 years ago. Tennessee was.

Immaculata (sp?) was the team to beat when I started following women's basketball. I could not watch it because it was not on television in St. Louis. That was when the teams were in the AIAW.

Big loss for JMU. I thought that Shea Ralph would have been perfect for that job.

Yeah, and Delta State and Queens College (NY). The D1 colleges had not discovered WBB yet.
CBear01 said:
Well let's see what has happened with the last 10 #1 recruits who tried that (per Hoopgurlz):

2016 Lauren Cox BAYLOR
2015 KLS UCONN
2014 A'ja Wilson USCar
2013 Mercedes Russell TENN
2012 Stewie UCONN
2011 KML UCONN
2010 C. Ogwumike STANFORD
2009 Britney Griner BAYLOR
2008 EDD DELAWARE
2007 Maya Moore UCONN

Now let's count the titles with these players ON THE ROSTER:

USCar 0
TENNESSEE 0
STANFORD 0
DELAWARE 0
BAYLOR 1
UCONN 6


Yeah, ummm, not so sure other programs have figured out how to do this just yet...
Expand ...

To be fair, EDD should be listed as a UConn signee. And Cox hasn't played a game yet.

You would never accept the visit if you aren't willing to put on the unis. It's polite, if not entirely consistent with their statements that they haven't made their final decision yet.

If UConn doesn't win, it will be because of maturity, not talent. They have everything but rebounding at a championship level. Heavy burden on Butler to finally meet expectations. How high can Williams and Collier reach? Other teams have more predictable size and experience, until the transfers are eligible...but... we do have Geno; the best big-game coach in all of the major sports. We're 1 year away from dominance.

Why? She never played a game there.

I wasn't listing who was a signee I was listing number 1 players and where they played. EDD played for Delaware, and was amazing, but never secured a title like others on that list.

I listed Cox bc I like round numbers (like 10!) and hoopgurlz only went back so far :D Baylor won't win a title with her on the roster, that would be a stretch

All good things must come to a end. There will be no title for U Conn this year. Baylor, South Carolina or Notre Dame will walk away with the hardware this time around.

Yes.. and Baylor, South Carolina and Notre Dame all #1 seeds last year made it to the final four... Oh wait.. they didn't.... hmmm yeah i'm sure one of them will take it this year... (sarcasim, incase you didnt get it). :)
 
How can you say that when none even made the FF this past year.

I can say it based on what they have coming back and what they have coming in and what the other teams lost and have coming in. U Conn lost 3 All Americans and Dangerfield is the only blue chip they brought in. Baylor has 4 of 5 starters back and Added 2 Mcdonalds All Americans. South Carolina has the twin towers back and 2 transfers that are lights out. Notre Dame only lost 2 players and has 2 preseason All Americans and 8 Mcdonalds All Americans and they added a 2 time Gatorade Player Of The Year and The all time leading scorer in Indiana Basketball history.Those teams didn't make it to the Final Four but were #1 seeds last year and will probably be the top 3 ranked teams in the polls when the first rankings come out unless U Conn is ranked ahead of any of them. Am i suppose to say Washington , Syracuse and Oregon St should be ranked higher because they made it to the Final Four? Upsets happen sometimes.

Uhm....
Kaela Davis FG% =36.4%, 3PFG% =28.9%. Not exactly what I'd call "lights out", but by all means "Bombs away Kaela -way to keep us in the game"- screams the opposing coach!

Kaela Davis was basically the only threat that GT had. She had to take a lot of shots that were low percentage. That will not be the case at SC. Her shooting percentage will go up because she is surrounded by better players. Basketball 101.

Not basketball 101-more wishful thinking on your part and not correct. GT other 4 starters all shot the ball statistically better than Davis during both of her seasons in GT uniform. The disproportionate attempts in shot attempts for Davis was unconscionable at any level of Basketball-ie Bad Coaching. Dawn will try but sometimes a leopard CANNOT change their spots. The next time Davis plays defense will be the first.
